La Casa Santa Fe - Welcome
We have been happy to live in Santa Fe for over 30 years, and we would like to help you have a happy stay in our historic house. Fully furnished kitchens, WiFi, and dish network television combine with comfortable beds and fluffy towels to help you feel at home. Visit “El Primero,” 141822, and "El Nido," 154580, listed at Vacation Rentals By Owner(vrbo.com). Nightly rates are seasonally adjusted, beginning at $74-$93, and decrease with extended stays.
At 7,000 ft elevation, Santa Fe enjoys four seasons. Warm summer days are often cooled by brief afternoon showers, and evenings may invite a light sweater. Winter brings snow to the nearby mountains, and often to town. Spring entices out the lilacs, and fall is glorious with golden aspens. Because our climate has low humidity, almost any day is a good day to be outdoors.
